![]() ![]() Make certain that you have one last Mojave Time Machine backup before you proceed. Going back to High Sierra requires wiping the entire boot drive, and reinstalling High Sierra which can be done by booting into Recovery and restoring from your last full High Sierra Time Machine backup. A double-click, and it will open in the built-in equation editor as editable MathML syntax. docx exported from LIbreOffice Writer and containing a LO equation, will open in Pages v7.3 with that equation object preserved. If there was a communication error, the blame is mine.īefore you retreat to an older operating system, LibreOffice v6.1.3 (current) will open some Pages '09 documents, may detect your MathType equations, and render them as editable LibreOffice Writer math objects. We are both educated, and I would not intentionally assume that you do not know how to use MathType. How many people do serious document creation on their iPhones? Pages was a good general purpose word processing app until it was ruined by "upgrades", presumably to make it useable in iOS. And in Mojave I can't even open the file in Pages 09 to extract the items. They are listed as either "temp.pict" or "droppedimage.pict" and are not displayed or available for use (despite the statement that they will be converted to a format suitable for Pages). When I open it in Pages v7.3 most of the graphics are generic icons. I have a number of little graphics I use in teaching (physics) that I collected in a Pages 09 file so I could copy and paste them into notes, quizzes and exams. It is a problem with the software Apple has provided to convert files from Pages 09 to the current version. There is no problem with MathType they are careful about forward compatibility. ![]() But conversion from Pages 09 doesn't work. As I said, I can write new equations in Pages v7.3. Otherwise I could not have used Pages 09 (or Pages v7.3) with the current version of MathType. ![]() Of course I have set the preferences in MathType to what is needed for Pages. You don't have MathType or the latest version of Pages, but you offer advice on this? Converting a file between the two versions of Pages should preserve the content, including equations. This is hugely time consuming, and I am unlikely to do it often. In effect I am writing the equation all over again. When I close that window the equation appears in the Pages document, as it should. I can rescue the equations by copying the data in the Mathtype window, doing Insert Equation to a new location, and pasting the material back into the empty Mathtype window that appears. If I double click on one of the locations, the equation appears in a Mathtype window, but if I simply close that window everything disappears from the Pages document. When I open one of them in the new Pages all the equations are hidden. I have many documents created in 09 that have Mathtype equations in them. ![]() So one is compelled more or less to convert older files to the new Pages versions. Now apparently with Mojave, you have no choice because Pages 09 is dead with that OS. Like many others, I prefer Pages 09 to the new Pages. ![]()
